This week end I went with friends to the local flea market on Petersplatz in Basel and after the flea market we went to two thrift stores. Jep, it was a real thrift-marathon but it was definately worth it! In the first thrift store (Brockenstube am Wolf) I saw an asian vase which I really liked but wasn't sure if I should buy it. So I boldly asked for a price reduction and thankfully I got it because right after I bought the vase I found the matching planter to go with it at the salvation army thrift store (Dreispitz). I've been meaning to replant my living room plant for a long time and now I've found the perfect vessel. I love chinoiserie so much, check out my post "modern asian accents" (follow this link). And my beloved foo dogs (follow this link) where also a one in a million flea market find!
